Shola wanted street respect, so he joined a gang. Initiation required a street crime. Someone suggested rape. The gang agreed. They attacked a girl, beating and violating her in a street corner. Shola participated, but when he finished, he heard his name. Turning, he saw his 16-year-old sister, who had come to share her university  admission news. Overcome with grief, Shola shot himself. The gang killed his sister too. Two lives were lost that day. Their widowed mother never recovered from the shock.
